QuTiP: An open-source Python framework for the dynamics of open quantum systems

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract We present an object-oriented open-source framework for solving the dynamics of open quantum systems written in Python. Arbitrary Hamiltonians, including time-dependent systems, may be built up from operators and states defined by a quantum object class, and then passed on to a choice of master equation or Monte Carlo solvers. We give an overview of the basic structure for the framework before detailing the numerical simulation of open system dynamics. Several examples are given to illustrate...
